I ask the parliamentary secretary to respond to a story in the Canberra Times that said:

Paid parental leave for tens of thousands of federal public servants has been plunged into limbo by the Abbott government's controversial cuts to the entitlement. Departments are saying that they cannot finalise the arrangements for their workforces until they have been given clear guidance from public service authorities.

When will that guidance be provided?
